"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Seeing that she agreed, Chi Yu said to Wang Yunjuan:
"Sister Wang, I won't be back until after the New Year at the earliest."
"Since Sister Qiao is unavailable, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on this soap workshop for me."
"good!"
Chi Yu added, "The Emperor said that starting this year, Le'an City will be directly under my jurisdiction, and even if it is not merged, I will still have the final say."
I have decided to reduce or exempt all taxes for the next two years.
The current disaster situation may be alleviated soon.
Sister Wang, whatever you want to do, as long as it doesn't break the law, just go ahead and do it.
Our Le'an City doesn't prioritize agriculture over commerce!
Upon hearing Chi Yu's affirmative words, Wang Yunjuan's face lit up with joy.
Even her in-laws and her own family couldn't help but be tempted.
It should be noted that the Great Chu Kingdom prioritizes agriculture over commerce, and commercial taxes are quite high.
Even though disasters are raging everywhere, the imperial court has not issued any order to reduce or exempt taxes.
I wonder if it would be feasible if they moved here.
Chi Yu ignored their expressions and continued speaking:
"Sister Wang, this batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes from Chijia'ao will be ready soon."
If you have any ideas, you can cooperate with the government to plant it throughout Le'an City.
Next year, we will cooperate with the government and the imperial court to promote this throughout Da Chu.
Wang Yunjuan knew what it meant; it meant that this year they could work with the government to collect the extra potatoes and sweet potatoes from Chijia'ao.
After that, the land was planted on a large scale, and after the harvest the following year, it was sold to people in other places at a reasonably high price.
In this way, she can earn a considerable amount of money from seeds.
Thinking of this, Wang Yunjuan was so excited that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"This humble woman thanks Your Highness for your kindness!"
Perhaps it was the allure of wealth that moved people's hearts, for the head of the Wang family, who was also Wang Yunjuan's eldest half-brother, was tempted.
As a shrewd businessman, he naturally knew what potatoes and sweet potatoes were.
He was well aware of the enormous profits that came with high yields.
Seeing that Princess Le'an was giving this piece to her elder sister, even though he might have to share some of the spoils with the princess, he still wanted to have a taste of it too.
Sure enough, after Wang Yunjuan stood up, he couldn't help but take a step forward and say:
"Princess, my Wang family has moved here and wishes to settle down. We wonder..."
Chi Yu knew perfectly well what he was about to say, and seeing this, he quickly interrupted him.
"Everyone, I will be setting off for the northern frontier soon. I have many things to attend to at home, so I won't keep you any longer."
Wang Yunjuan was a very perceptive person. Upon hearing this, she quickly told her family and in-laws to leave.
But her half-brother had finally found a fish in the pond and wanted to settle down here, so how could he leave so easily?
Seeing that Chi Yu didn't seem too happy, he had other plans in mind when he settled down here.
And so, unwilling to move, he remained where he was, saying:
"Princess Le'an, this humble subject has a daughter named Cailian, who is twelve years old this year, and is very beautiful..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yunjuan, who knew his scheme, covered his mouth and dragged him away.
As she reached the door, she turned around and smiled awkwardly:
“Princess, my brother is a little confused. You don’t need to take his words to heart.”
"Let's go now, right away!"
Zhong Yufeng, mingling in the crowd, didn't even need to think to know what her half-brother's plan was.
All she wanted was for her cousin to follow her aunt as a maid.
Because she was her cousin, her aunt was somewhat wary and wouldn't really treat her like an ordinary maid.
At that time, my cousin will be able to use her aunt's connections to marry into a better family.
Or perhaps, they are using someone else's power to profit for their family.
